Chapter 473 You look terrible! Hurry up and take off your makeup.

"That makes so much sense! Awesome idea!" Penelope's eyes lit up, suddenly clear.

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that?" she said. "And Lucy and Ruby have always been tight. If I say I'm Ruby's relative, Lucy will totally get it!"

Sam crossed his arms. "See? It wasn't a big deal, but you almost yanked my ear off."

Penelope leaned in with a grin. "Sorry, Sam. Does it hurt? Let me rub it for you. My bad, really."

"Well, since you're so sincere, I forgive you." Sam looked at her. "Penelope, you can talk to me about stuff. We can figure things out together. Don't carry everything on your own; it's too much. It makes me worry."

He spoke earnestly, his eyes clear and bright.

Penelope reached out and patted his head. "Sam, you're still young. I just want you to have a happy childhood and not get mixed up in adult stuff."

"You want me to be happy and carefree, and I want you to be happy too," Sam said. "Sam..." Penelope replied.

Sam cut her off. "I'm not that young. I'm pretty smart. Promise me, if you can't solve something, you'll tell me, and we'll figure it out together, okay?"

Sam wasn't just smart.

He was a genius.

Penelope had long recognized that Sam possessed the intelligence and talent to achieve great things.

After all, Sam was Kelvin's son.

Winning first place in the piano competition was just the start of Sam's amazing journey!

"Okay," Penelope said. "You're part of this family, and you can give advice, and also..." "And also bring Lucy back to us sooner!" Sam said.

Penelope smiled and pinched his cheek. "Lucy can choose to come back or stay with Dad. It's her call. I just hope she makes her choice with a clear mind. Sam, the same goes for you. When everything settles, you still need to acknowledge Kelvin. After all, he's your biological father. You and Lucy have the same right to choose. Your life is your own, and no one can make decisions for you. Got it?"

Sam answered without hesitation, "I've already chosen a long time ago! Penelope, you know my answer!"
